Title really says it all. Keeping my fingers crossed that something starts soon.

This is it! My labor started exactly the same way. My water began leaking around 3:00PM. I didn't have contractions but let my midwife know. I spent the afternoon nesting up my bedroom/birthroom, finishing some laundry and getting food made to eat for dinner and after the birth. It won't be too long, now. Don't put anything in your vagina, stay well hydrated and eat! Can't wait to hear your baby's been born!!!

Thanks for the reminder to hydrate...that is always the first thing I forget to do. I just go back from a short walk (about 7 blocks) and just got off the phone with my chiropractor. I am going in in about 30 minutes for an adjustment to see if that helps.

It's been at least 24 hours since I started leaking and still no contractions. I don't get my body

I am with you :-)

I am pretty sure my water broke in the shower yesterday, but nobody believes me :-) Since then it's been somewhat leaking, but nothing major. And no contractions, just the belly acting a bit weird.

The good news is that we can't be pregnant forever. Can we?

Veronica Rose was born at home this evening at 6:45 weighing in at 9lbs and measuring 21in. Labor started on it's own at about 1:15 after mw swept my membranes about 2 hours earlier. Birth was totally unmedicated...my first! I am so pleased to know that my body isn't broken and can start labor on its own!
